15948	vbox segfaults with large numbers of search domains in /etc/resolv.conf => Fixed in SVN	nuxi		"While vbox makes sure it doesn't read in more than RCPS_MAX_NAMESERVERS nameserver lines when parsing /etc/resolv.conf, it doesn't enforce a similar check against RCPS_MAX_SEARCHLIST for search domains. When using a VPN, sometimes absurd numbers of search domains happen (glibc only supports 6) and vbox will just segfault.


I've made a fix (the resolv.conf parser helpfully compiles as a standalone program, which made locating the problematic chunk trivial) that I'll attach to this bug. Obligatory ""patch is under the MIT license"" because I did read the contributer guidelines."	defect	closed	network	VirtualBox 5.1.6	fixed			other	Linux
